When Can I Shred?
A Minnesota and regional ski-opening guide that combines wet-bulb forecasts with historical resort opening dates.
Field notes
The page uses a 28°F wet-bulb cutoff to identify potential snowmaking windows, rather than treating calendar dates as a proxy for ski conditions. Its regional table combines forecast or climate projections with normal October–November snowmaking hours and historical opening ranges; for example, Wild Mountain and Trollhaugen are projected for November 10, while Elm Creek is projected for December 16. Forecast data comes from Open-Meteo and is refreshed twice daily.
